Hi Guys

Ol doofness here, could u in simple terms tell me how fast is 384kpbs on Telkom Broadband ADSL option

Thx

 

[dabouncer]

40kb/s.

 

[JazzeD]

wrong 40kB/s

 

[dabouncer]

ja.

 

[ld13]

48KB/s

This is the max I get on my 384k line.

 

[Rocket-Boy]

48kB/s is top end, but expect to have it working at around 36-40kB/s

 

[Nameite]

40.2 is my tops

48KB/s

This is the max I get on my 384k line.

Initial spikes in speed don't count Due to overheads your line is limited to max 40kB/s.

You'll notice that you probably only get 48kB/s when a download just begins, or while a file is being decoded. That's not your true speed, just a spike.

 

[StoneCold]

I spike at 53KB/s

It's a joke!

This is a laugh - from http://www.scanyourpc.com

Hooray for Telskum!

Act of God. Technical anomaly. Glitch. Or in plain English, an ERROR!
Or maybe your line has a split personality?

I took your link, and went a bit further with the numeber at the end:

No not an error - my upstream bandwidth is faster than my downstream and has been like that for a while now (ever since my modem started syncing at 3-4mbps).
The downstream is restricted to 384kbps but the upstream is the same as for a 4mbps line (640kbps).
I phoned Telkom and none of the call center staff could tell me why it's like that so I just decided I'll leave it at that. It certainly helps with uploading data to overseas.
I sent ~10GB of e-mail attachments last month.
